    The tortilla espanola with jamon and blue fin tuna carpaccio were highlights for me. Though, if you've been to Spain, especially Madrid, and have had tortilla espanola or jamon ibérico, know that it will taste the same but at a significant premium. The fish and meat will start at about 1.5 lbs, which was good for 2-3 people depending on how many dishes you start with. Overall, everything was flavorful, which was a relief after reading some of the poor reviews. That said, it wasn't mouthwatering or novel. So if you're looking for a unique culinary experience that matches the price tag, and that you'll rave about for years to come, this may not be for you.

    Loved the food here! The flavors were bold and the tapas concept is great for sharing with groups or on a date. The only complaint would be the tables were close together and the restaurant was very crowded and somewhat noisy. But better full and lively than empty!

    We enjoyed every dish we ordered. Garlic shrimp, potato onion omelet,goat cheese and red sauce, Brussels sprout salad, chicken skewers. The only downside was plates not being cleared or table wiped as we went along. We finally tracked someone down to do that.
